The Nadine cardigan is a top-down compound raglan cardigan with a floral colorwork motif around the bottom hem. A fun detail is a double knit button band that has the contrast color on the inside, creating a cohesive piece.

It also features a high v-neck (which can be modified by omitting the top buttonhole and bottom) and a slightly cropped fit.

(Note: are you looking to knit sizes 1, 8, 7 or 9? If so, please send me an email at: lanayaelizabethknits@gmail.com. Due to not finding testers for those sizes I would love to send you a free copy of the pattern until I have enough feedback for those sizes!)
